All About Courtesy Vehicles

Not all pre-owned vehicles are alike, and if you’re visiting our dealership wondering about the courtesy vehicle meaning, Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring is here to clarify. Let’s take a moment to discuss what these cars are meant for, the benefits of buying one, and what you can expect. They’re an underrated way to find the perfect fit.

What Is a Courtesy Vehicle?

A courtesy vehicle is owned and operated by the dealership for shuttle services, rentals, and short-term loans when customers are getting their cars serviced. They’re part of the dealership’s standard complement, but instead of being displayed in the showroom, they’re kept on hand for customers’ benefit. They’ll have significantly less mileage compared to other pre-owned models.

What Makes Them Attractive to Buyers?

Unlike most pre-owned cars, these vehicles are constantly in the dealership’s care. We feel that our customers deserve the best experience, even when they’ll only use a car for a short time, so we keep them cleaned and maintained to the highest degree.

Can I Buy One?

Yes, you can buy a courtesy vehicle once it’s been retired from rental service. You can browse our courtesy vehicle inventory to find out which models have been retired and purchase or lease them like any other vehicle.

Are There Any Drawbacks?

Only one: because we don’t have a huge courtesy fleet, the selection will be smaller than it is for our pre-owned and Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. With that being said, their condition and maintenance history ensure you’re not settling for second best.
